This week's Book List Meme, hosted by Rebecca of Lost in Books, ask you to take a trip down memory lane. Rebecca's looking for three books that take you back to high school. To be honest, I really can't remember what I read in high school--it was such a long time ago! But these three were probably read at about that time. I swear I also read some classics!

Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express." I read quite a few Agatha Christie books between junior high and high school. I really did prefer Miss Marple.

Stephen King's "Carrie." High school was the start of my many year love affair with Stephen King's books.

Colleen McCullough's "The Thorn Birds." I think even then I thought there were some creepy things about this book but I loved it anyway.

It is so sad to me that I have such a horrible memory and can't remember what I read and liked in High School. :( I used to read all the time and I can't remember anything. I wish I had kept every book I had so I had proof!

These were not the ones I had to read in school, but the ones I chose to read: Roots, The Chosen (chaim potok), The Thorn Birds, Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Winds of War, The Joy of Sex(!), Shogun, Trinity, Your Erroneous Zones (the beginning of my love affair with Dr. Wayne Dyer). I could go on...

Oh yeah, Mari, I read Seventeen every month. I think I went pretty lightweight on my for fun reading because of the reading I had to do for classes. By the time you read your Shakespeare or Faulkner, your brain is read for a little Miss Marple!

I loved Thorn Birds.. I had a torn, very bad shaped copy... which had seen many years of reading in the family and friends circle of my uncle!And I loved it... it has to be my fav till date!I think I should re read it. But i am scared if I won't like it anymore :)

Book Review Policy

Unfortunately, I am not able to accept any new books for review at this time.
Every review is an honest representation of my impression of the book. I am not a professional book reviewer; rather my reviews are my opinions as a reader primarily reading for pleasure. I will try to alert readers to elements that some readers might find offensive.
My preferred genres are literary fiction, women's fiction, chick lit, mystery/suspense, historical fiction and memoir/biography. If you have a requested date in mind for review, I need to know this in the initial contact. I currently need three months lead time on a book. I will review every book I finish.
